VCOA turned 30 this year and it is time for a party! Please join us on Oct 4-6 at Stratton Mountain Resort, Vermont; where we will celebrate our anniversary and honor Irv Gordon and his incredible milestone of driving 3 million miles in his 1966 1800.

This event will include three days of food, fun and of course Volvos at one of Vermont’s premier resorts, during what we planned and hope to be peak foliage. Stratton is a unique resort in that it has its own little village that surrounds the ski facility at the mountain. Many activities will take place in the commons, which is a large green space surrounded by the condominium buildings. If you choose to stay in one of the condos you will be able to walk out the front door and immediately be part of the show. Those staying at the Inn at Stratton will have a short walk.

Our plans include a Friday evening reception and Dutch auction. Check your Volvo collections for those items you are ready to pass along to another Volvo lover. The proceeds will be returned to you, minus a 10% premium which will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Volvo’s favorite charity to help fight childhood cancer. Of course you are welcome to donate any additional proceeds to this great cause.

Saturday will include breakfast, car show, lunch, and awards banquet. Sunday’s events are breakfast, followed by a Poker Run from Stratton to Bennington, VT, via several covered bridges and picturesque Vermont towns. The Poker Run will end in Bennington at Hemmings Motor News with a tour of the museum and famous gas station gift shop.

Local attractions include all things outdoors, picturesque Vermont villages, fine dining, Orvis’ flagship store as well as Premier Factory Outlet shopping and the famous Vermont Country Store, all within a short drive.

Resort reservations are to be made directly with Stratton 1-800-STRATTON and you must mention that you are with the Volvo Club of America National meet to receive the discounted rates. Please visit www.stratton.com to view descriptions of accommodations.
